My Top 6 Inspirational YouTube Videos

Staying inspired and motivated to chase your dreams and work towards your goals is not an easy task. I've been there so many times. Uninspired. Lethargic. Uninterested. Just getting by.

One of the best ways I know to fuel my fire of motivation is to watch TedTalks or other inspirational/motivational videos on YouTube. Below are my some of my favorites! Share your favorite videos in the comments, and I will be sure to check them out!

These are in no particular order....


"When you want to succeed as bad as you want breathe, then you will be successful."


This video is one of my recent favorites. I am so not interested in climbing a mountain, but just to see all of the amazing sights this man has seen would be incredible! I am so inspired to pack my bags and by a plane ticket.


I think I am not unique in dealing with the persuasive pressure from society, family, and friends. I strive to live as authentically and genuinely as I can. Caroline McHugh gives profound insights about being yourself.


I am obsessed with Brené Brown. Watch this video. Watch all of her videos. Buy her books. She has affected the way I interact with myself and others in a big way. It is so hard to show up and be seen, but it is essential for living wholeheartedly.


Mel Robbins is the reason my feet hit the floor when my alarm clock goes off. Practicing her concept of acting on a decision in less than 5 seconds is the easiest way to get things done when you have no motivation. You are never motivated when you need to be anyway!


This has some strong language, as the title might suggest, but it is gold! This has taken a lot of stress out of my life. Decide what you care about, and care about those things wholeheartedly. Decide what you do not care about, and do not care about those things. Pretty simple but very profound. It's "F**k Yes!" or a very polite "No."
